Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Ben & Jerry's is a world-renowned ice cream brand that was originally founded in 1978 in Burlington, Vermont, USA. Its founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, started with a single ice cream scoop shop in a renovated gas station and became iconic for unique flavor combinations with large chunky inclusions.

While the brand maintains its creative roots in Vermont, it expanded globally after being acquired by the multinational giant Unilever in 2000. In a significant corporate shift in 2024 and 2025, Unilever spun off its entire ice cream business into a standalone entity. As of 2026, the brand is part of the newly independent company, The Magnum Ice Cream Co.

To serve its global consumer base, the product is manufactured in multiple locations. Primary production facilities for the North American market are located in Waterbury and Saint Albans, Vermont. For the European market, including Germany where this specific advertisement was found, the ice cream is typically produced at the Hellendoorn factory in the Netherlands.
